We started the week with heavy pressure in soybean oil which bled into soybeans while wheat was strong and we had mixed action in corn and livestock markets. Stocks were down hard to start the week as well. We discuss continued market volatility with John Heinberg from Total Farm Marketing. Find more at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.
